Thank you for taking the time to articulate what is going on in the UK in your own words, I don't trust the media so honest first hand accounts are a refreshing read.

Don't wear yourself out with worry, this entire thing is a psychological operation intended to create mass panic and confusion in order to pass draconian legislation that otherwise would recieve scrutiny. 

The two-tier policing is intended to inflame the native British and thus keep the fire burning.

The reason I can say this with a degree of confidence is that the same thing has played out in Ireland, and was entirely avoidable, but instead of allowing a growing section of the public to vent their frustration, they instead were demonised by the media, ignored in parliament and beaten by the police. In other words, they created a giant powder keg. Then there was a young girl stabbed outside of a school and all hell broke loose, almost exactly as it happened in the UK.

Makes you wonder no?
